The dreaded day after Thanksgiving Sale

“My wife lives for this. I'd rather have a root canal or a colonoscopy or both at the same time. She's making me go with her!!!!!!!”

“No way do I go anywhere near a store on that day! I have a very defined personal space with groups and those shoppers don't care!!

Sorry about your luck!”

“...i'll go without hubby, this way i can buy more.”

“I do my Christmas shopping at Peddler's Village, an eclectic collection of shops in Bucks County north of Philly. I don't get shoved around, the sales people are friendly and courteous, and there is a holiday atmosphere to the place. At night they light it up and it is a wonderland, especially if there is some snow on the ground. I can go there the weekend before Christmas and still have a great time and still get all my gifts in one sweep.

I can usually complete my list in an afternoon, make a reservation in one of the restaurants and enjoy a relaxing evening meal, and head home without feeling as though I've just played in a losing overtime hockey game (and I can't even stand on skates!).

Malls around here are like demolition derby without the car. I think roving gangs of people chalk up points for the number of people they bowl over, extra points if they're over 50 and more extra points if they have some physical impairment.”

“I have to work that day!!! AHHH!!!”

“G00SE lives for the after Turkey Day sale. I have always managed to avoid it before now. I usually don't even leave the house so I don't have to deal with all those frustrated, stressed out people on the roads. This year my participation is compulsory, however. I keep trying to comfort myself with the fact that I'll be accompanied by veterans. That should increase my chances of survival, right?







Please help me.”

“A friend and his wife would hit the mall and for lunch would go to the Mexican Restaurant for lunch down a couple of margarita's and then go back out into the fray--it was more manageable, they said, but they also cared less about what they bought for whom!

My wife and I stay away on that day.”

“I highly recommend shopping at Opry Mills in Nashville, Ten-O-See. Bass Pro Shops, numerous other sporting goods stores, plenty of stuff for the ladies and several really good bars for when you're tired of shopping and your wife is still 'on point'.







I, however, shall stay home...”

“Bah-Humbug!!!!!”

“My daughter and I have made plans to go out every Black Friday for the last 4 years. We get up at the crack of dawn, sometimes before, and hit the stores that have the best give aways or the lowest prices and then by 10 am or so head back home to avoid listening to those late comers that missed out on early bird specials. I have to admit that its crazy to wait outside a store at 530 am but we have done this since she was 13 and are going again this year. We have bought vcr's, tv's, radio's, a flat bed scanner, and jewelry all for incrediable bargins some even were free. My wife, on her way into work will sometimes stop and pick up some things, but we are never together for this. Ahh, to each there own.”

“Gee I will be at work and have to put up with all you crazy people..................LOL
Just a note in advance since we don't advertise. Bath and Body Works will have 15% off your entire purchase open till high noon.....on Friday......
Happy Shopping
Barbara”

“I'm there! Thanks, CGHiker!!
Let's see..that should take care of a few people on my list..
hmmmmm....”

“Chipmunks roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost ripping up your nose
Yuletide carolers being thrown in the fire
And folks dressed up like buffaloes
Everybody knows a turkey slaughtered in the snow
Helps to make the season right
Tiny tots with their eyes all gouged out
Will find it hard to see tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of guns and bullets on his sleigh
And every mother's child is sure to spy
To see if reindeer really scream when they die
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Fack you!!”
